EMPHASIZING FREEDOM AND FLUID LINES, PLAYTEX SLIMS YOUR SILHOUETTE, GIVES YOU THE “FIGURE OF THE 1950"

PARIS DESIGNERS ACCLAIM INVISIBLE PLAYTEX GIRDLE
AS PERFEGT WAY TO THE “FIGURE OF THE 1990's"

For years, no new fashion has created such
a sensation a
houette seen in current Paris collections,

And leading Parisian designers do agree
that these slender fashions of the 1950's
call for the figure of the 1950's, the slim,

s the narrow-skirted, slim sil-

young, supple ptayrex figure.

For PLayrex combines amazing figure-
slimming power with complete comfort and
freedom of action. Made of tree-grown
liquid latex, without a single seam, stitch
or bone, PLAYTEX slims and trims the figure

naturally, fits invisibly under 1950’s slim-
hipped dresses. And it washes in seconds,
pats dry with a towel.

Just wear the sensational pLayTex Girdle,
and see how slender you'll look in all
your new clothes.

GIRDLE OF THE 1950's is PLAYTEX — at all
modern department stores and specialty
shops, everywhere. In Blossom Pink,

man’s questions in pantomime with his fluid Gallic face. Halsman’s pho-
tographs were so striking that they were incorporated into a book, The
Frenchman, which is currently a best seller. Now the pantomimic in-
terview has been carried further in a new book published this week, The
Baby (Simon & Schuster, $1) in which the subjects are unable not only
to speak English but to speak at all. Photographer Constance Bannister,
a contributor to the book, insists that American babies are just as ex-
pressive as full-grown Frenchmen. She feels she proves her point by the
pictures on these pages which are answers to the questions listed below.

1) What is your opinion of Hedy Lamarr?

2) Don’t yourealize therearecollegesother than Harvard?
3) And how are things around your house?

4) What do you think of the international situation?
5) Did you notice how the Market closed today?

6) Do you believe that hemlines will be higher this year?

SENATE’S LADIES’ DAY

Belligerent women and brave senators battle
in Congress over the equal rights amendment
by ALYCE MORAN and FRANK McNAUGHTON

Wasuincton, D.C.

Notso long ago President Truman, in one of his off-the-cuff speeches
to a women’s political club here, took note of the fact that women now
number nearly 52% of U.S. voters. “If we don’t look out, if we don’t
look out,” he repeated ominously, “we will probably have a feminine
government some day.”

The President's remark, intended mostly for what comedians call
a “throw-away line,” nevertheless contained some of the shrewd po-
litical insight for which Harry Truman is famous. For official Wash-
ington knows as well as the humblest ward heeler that the women have
definitely come of political age. That explains the enormous political
power of India Edwards (head of the Women’s Division of the Na-
tional Democratic Committee). It also explains why Mrs. Edwards has
been able to wangle diplomatic plums for such politically helpful la-
dies as Perle Mesta (Minister to Luxembourg) and Eugenie Anderson
(Ambassador to Denmark).

Naturally enough, the phenomenon has been trumpeted most loud-
ly by the women themselves—in particular that swarm of crusading
ladies who last week were bustling through Washington, haranguing
women’s clubs and buttonholing congressmen. Most of these ladies
were leaders of the National Woman’s Party, probably the most mil-
itant women’s organization in the country and certainly the most per-
severing. For 27 years they have sustained their siege, arguing for what
they consider the only method for recognizing the equality of women
in the U.S. Their argument: stop discrimination against women by
crasing any and all laws, federal and local, that do discriminate for or
against women. Recognize once and for all (they demand) that women
are equal to men in all respects, that they need no legislation to pro-
tect them—or to protect men against them. So for 27 years they have
struggled to get through either Senate or House their amendment to
the Constitution: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied
or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.”?

The long campaign almost flopped before it got started. “In 1923,"
says 65-year-old Miss Alice Paul, “no less than 16 national women’s
organizations opposed it—the women we had gone to prison to en-
franchize,”. she adds bitterly. But these ladies do not give up easily.

EQUAL RIGHTS LEADER Ag-

LIFE’S REPORTS conrinueo

Indeed, some who were here last
week still wear the silver cellgate-
and-chain-lock pin that identi-
fies them as the true veterans of
the suffragette movement, those
who actually went to jail.

This year things looked far
brighter for the ladies than ever
before. Congressmen were be-
ginning to catch on to the simple
political fact voiced by the Pres-
ident. Ambushing the congress-
men in the Capitol corridors,
the ladies stepped up their cam-
paign. Said Emma Miller (first
vice chairman of National Wom-
an’s Party), ‘
are still not per
stitution. . . . Out in California
through the chivalry of the la-
boring man they passed a law
saying that no woman .. . might
carry 10 pounds up more than
five steps. When the baby weighs
more than 10 pounds I assume
the father comes home to carry
itup. . . ”Somestates, theladies
went on, will not permit women
to drive taxicabs or serve as bar-
tenders. A dozen states discrim-
inate against them on minimum
wages. They suffer discrimina-
tion in seeking public offices, too,
the ladies added with just the
proper note of self-pity and po-
litical threat.

But as the amendment came
to the floor of the Senate, it be-
came evident that the women
were not exactly united on the
issue themselves. The lineup
seemed to form, roughly, like
this:

For:

The National Woman’s Party

The General Federation of Wom-
en’s Clubs

The National Association of Col-
ored Women

Bess Truman

Against:

The National League of Women

Voters
National Consumer’s League
The Y.W.C.A.

Women of the A.F. of L.

Women of the C.I.0.

partment of Labor

To married congressmen this
was not a startling discovery—
thousands of women being un-
able to agree on an issue. But
some of the arguments brought
up against the amendment made
the senators sit up as they had
not since the butter-oleo fight.

Offhand many of the senators
were inclined to feel that voting
against the amendment would
be in a class with disapproving
of motherhood. But an impos-
ing array of senators stood up
against the visiting ladies—such

One by one they braved the
wrath of women scorned. They
pointed out some rights that
states now give to women and

give up these 1) materni-
ty leaves, 2) d rights”
upy a house on a mate’s
eath, 3) protection against di-
vorce proceedings on grounds of
insanity. Senator Douglas rose to
the equal rights amend-
adopted, would it be
possible for the husband to sue
the wife on the ground that she
was not adequately supporting
him?” The answer was yes.

guish man from woman .. . we

distinction could be m:
whether they would have to car-
ry a rifle or operate a typewriter.
..-” Furthermore, he added, if
you draft both father and moth-
er in time of war, what do you
do with the children?

‘The senator went on, “Isit the
intention of the members of the
ate to take the dower

might very well eliminate rape
as a crime, inasmuch as by defini-
tion it usually involves an act of
aggression on the part of a male.”
“And,” he continued, “will any
lawyer deny that... the Mann
Act will not be repealed

In the corridors the argu-
ments were hotter even than on
the floor of the Senate. When
an opponent to the amendment
voiced theslogan of “specific bills
for specific ills,” i.c., attack in-
dividual discriminations in the
states, she was drowned out by
a slogan from the ladies for the
amendment: “All our democrat-

While photographing the essay on the new In-
donesia for Lire (pp. 82-95), Henri Cartier-Bresson
came upon a girl standing quietly in a shady spot,
resting near a bicycle repait shop in the shopping
district of Jogjakarta. He was impressed by the
classic Javanese beauty of her calmly exotic, heart-
shaped face, with its wide smooth cheeks, tiny chin
and quiet brown eyes. A lacy-edged white kerchief
(kerudung) covers her black hair. Over her flowered
jacket (kebaja) she wears ascarflike slendang, which
crosses one shoulder and wraps around the waist.

How we retired with °200 a month

"Seems queer, but it was the crash of
1929 that showed Janet and me the one
sure way a salaried man can retire. No
—we didn’t see it coming. Like our
friends, we had put our savings in invest-
ments. They crashed with everything
else. Yet today we're retired and living
in California, with a check for $200 com-
ing in each month—as long as we live.

“You see, I did some hard thinking
then. Maybe I could save again. But
how could I hope to tell a good buy from
a poor one? I had no training.

“What's more, I was forty-two. My
working years were more than half over
already. I couldn't afford to speculate.
And I didn't want to keep worrying
about my future.

“I guess I'd been reading ads about
Phoenix Mutual Retirement Income
Plans for years. I'd always meant to
write in and find out more about them,
But I'd kept putting it off. Later—when
I have more money saved up again, I'd
say. (I thought you had to be rich to
retire.)

“Then, one afternoon, I happened to
read another Phoenix Mutual Retire-
ment Income ad. You didn’t have to have
a lot of money in the bank, it said. If you
had fifteen or twenty good earning years
ahead of you, your income could be ab-
solutely guaranteed for life. A man of
forty could plan to forget all investment
worries and still retire at, say, 60. The
only secret was to start in time

“Well, it won't cost anything to look into
it, I said, So I cut out the coupon at the
bottom of the ad and mailed it in. Pretty
soon my mail brought a booklet telling

showed how I could get an income of
$200 a month, every montl
when I hit sixty. It was an
couldn't lose, couldn’t outlive! And
meanwhile, it protected my family with
life insurance.

“Then and there, I decided . . . I'd let
Phoenix do my investment worrying.
As soon as I could, I applied for a
Phoenix Mutual Plan.

“Eighteen years pass faster than most,
folks realize. We enjoyed them more be-

CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN “THE GOLD RUSH”

ANYTHING FOR A LAUGH

Al Capp, creator of the comic-strip world of
Lil Abner, comes up with some interesting ob-
servations on laughter in an article on Charlie
Chaplin in the February Atlantic Monthly. Re-
calling Chaplin’s famous depiction of the little
tramp who goes from one dream-shattering ex-
perience to another, Mr. Capp says, “We didn’t
laugh because we were heartless wretches. We
laughed because we are normal human beings,
full of self-doubt, full of vague feelings of infe-
riority, full of a desperate need to be reassured.
. + No matter how badly off any one of us was,
we were all in better shape than that bum. The
fact that we'd had enough spare cash to buy a
ticket to that movie made us superior to him.
‘That was the first thing that made us feel good.
Next, we saw him starving, That wasn’t going
to happen to us—another reason for feeling su-
perior, better off at least than one person.””

Philosopher Capp argues that all laughter
has this sort of psychological origin. The theory
is provocative, and addicts of the U.S. comic
strip may well feel that Mr. Capp has covered
everything. But as an all-embracing explana-
tion Mr. Capp’s notion is suspect. Mr. Capp has
explained practically everything about laugh-
ter except one thing: he hasn’t told us why we
laugh when we are just plain happy.

IT IS TAXES, AND THIS IS A GOOD TIME FOR FUNDAMENTAL REFORMS

Ever since the early ’30s the annual con-
gressional fight over taxes has had a depress-
ingly familiar ring. Basic questions of tax
structure have been subordinated to the sin-
pe question: How much? By all the portents,

jowever, the time is now ripe for a funda-
mental reappraisal of general tax philoso-
phy. The President himself has provided the
clearest challenge for Congress to take a de-
tached look at the over-all tax system. “It
is highly important,” he says in his budget
message, “that we begin to make the basic
changes in the tax system which are needed to
make it more equitable and to provide incen-
tives for producing the amounts and types of
investment, consumption and savings which
will contribute to an expanding economy.’

Taking the President's words at face val-
ue, what they say in effect is that the tax phi-
losophy of the stagnant °30s is not applicable
to the dynamic *50s. In the °30s the “con-
sumer” (a somewhat lopsided abstraction)
was absolute king in White House economic
thinking. President Truman has certainly
not forgotten the consumer but, at least for
talking purposes, has pushed him back into
line abreast of the investor and the savings
bank depositor, who now figure in presiden-
tial discourse as the consumer’s coequals.

Unfortunately the President's specific tax
program does not bear out the promise of
his generalities. Instead it suggests that Mr.
Truman himself is not fully aware of what
he has said in principle. His program is a mix-
ture of cross-pui and cloudy motiva-
tion. The cece to lower the excise tax on
luxuries, for instance, is in line with the needs
of an expanding economy. The proposal to
rations at a higher rate is not. But
ve the specifics and concentrate on
the principle involved. It entails—or ought
to entail—a healthy repudiation of the idea
that the U.S. economy has become “mature”
—i.e., built to the point where it needs no big
new infusions of risk capital. A mature econ-
omy needs one type of tax philosophy; an ex-
panding economy requires quite another.

In the stagnant °30s, when the late John
Maynard Keynes ‘and his economist disci-
ples were riding high, a superficially intelli-
gent case could be made out for the theory
that population growth had leveled off for-
ever and that human desires had ceased to
be elastic. In line with their static theory of
the future the Keynesians quite logically ad-
yocated a tax penalty on thrift. There was
positive danger, said the Keynesians, in pil-
ing up money in sterile bank vaults or in re-
dundant industrial plant. Today, on the
threshold of the dynamic °50s, the fallacies
of the Keynesian approach are beginning to
show. The problem of the ’50s is seen to be
many faceted: new plant is needed to make
up for the frightful destruction of war, new
businesses are needed to care for steadily in-
creasing populations and the new needs of
old populations. The world is hungry for cap-
ital, for savings.

One way to leave savings in the hands of
investors is to slice the baiget. But the ques-
tion of tax reform stands quite apart from

the question of budget levels, Even at a high
budget level it should be possible to encour-
age risk takers. The job before Congress is
to formulate a tax system that will not un-
fairly discriminate against the investor, who
is the planter of the seed that grows all tax
money. A number of farsighted individuals
and organizations have been extremely busy
of late with tax plans designed to stimulate
the economy, and Congress should pay at-
tention to them. The Committee for ‘Eco.
nomic Development has one plan. Mr. Lew-
is S. Rosenstiel of Schenley Industries has
another. The Messrs. Conick and Main of
Pittsburgh have a third. Mr. E. K. Hall, an
engineer of Farmington, Conn., has a fourth.
Details differ among the planners, but it is
petals noteworthy that all of them
have one thing in common: they put especial
stress on rescuing the risk-taking investor
from the double jeopardy in which Keynes-
ian tax philosophy has placed him,

Double jeopardy falls hardest upon that
abused and essential character, the com-
mon-stock holder, He is taken to be fair game
for any amount of nicking. Under present tax
law, dividend funds are taxed twice: first as
corporate profit, second as stock dividends.
Contrary to popular impression this double
taxation does not really get at the torpid rich,
who can and do invest their money in indus-
trial bonds (taxed only once) or in municipal
bonds (not taxed at all). Instead it penalizes
the adventurous citizen, rich or poor, who is
looking for an opportunity to put his savings
to work creatively.

‘The various tax planners we have cited
offer different means of putting the stock in-
vestor back on a fairer tax basis. The Com-
mitice for Economic Development and Mr,
Rosenstiel would eliminate double jeopardy
by allowing a tax credit on dividends or cor-

income. The Messrs. Conick and
Wain would put a ceiling on higher income
brackets at 50% of income. Mr. Hall would
tax all income at a flat rate, but he would
couple this feature with a law requiring in-
dustries to issue extra stock to workers and
stockholders in annual amounts equal to un-
divided profits.

If pressed, Mr. Truman would probabl
square his specific demand for an extra bil-
lion in corporation taxes with his general phi-
losophy by saying that he favors lowering
the tax on the small and middle-size corpora-
tion. Well, thereis a great need for incentives
to investment in small business. But the fact
remains that the investor in big industry is
often a “little” man—and itis not reasonable
that he be placed in double tax jeopardy.

To sum up: There should be no additional
taxes this year. There should be tax reform.
If more money is needed to fight Commu-
nism, which is what all measures of military
and economic defense come to, that money
can and should be taken out of 1) thenational
pork barrel and 2) a lot of services, from air-
mail subsidies to farm-price supports, which
are generally considered to be right and nec-
essary. Along with tax reform, new national
priorities on expenditure may be called for.

A WEEK OF SHOGK AND DEGISION

A hint that we have lost the arms race—the order to make the H-bomb—
a plea to wage peace—the espionage case against an atomic scientist

The momentous week began like any other, with everybody pay-
ing closest attention to what seemed to concern him most. Thus
President Truman took thought about how to phrase his decision
to build the hydrogen bomb, Ingrid Bergman was urgently con-
cerned with the imminent birth of her baby and Lauritz Melchior
was busy preparing to quit the Metropolitan Opera Company. A
number of people bent every effort to see that the week should be
remembered as National Kraut and Frankfurter Week; a number
of others strove to make National Youth Week even more mem-
orable. Around the globe others were being single-minded about
deluges, droughts and debts. And in Harwell, Britain’s big atomic-
research center, an unobtrusive phy: named Klaus Emil Julius
Fuchs went about his top-secret work with the satisfied feeling of a
man who has recently won a promotion and a raise. Meanwhile cer-
tain forces were in motion; they were to result in decisions of pro-
found meaning to many millions of people, and to shock them into

understanding, more deeply than ever, what themeaning was. Ason
the eve of Dec. 7, 1941, these forces were not recognized in advance.

UT in Denver an interviewer asked a man

what he thought about the atomic bomb now.
“I just feel better,” the man said uncomfortably,
speaking for millions, “when I don’t think about it.”
He wasn’t being complacent or putting his head in
the sand, but it did seem to be pretty useless to worry
about something that, like tomorrow’s sunrise, was

DR. UREY SAYS, “WE MAY HAVE LOST RACE”

entirely out of his hands. But for anybody who read
the papers or listened to the radio or couldn’t afford
a desert island, it was getting harder all the time
not to worry and to avoid thinking about it.

As the week went on it became harder. First there
was that weekend speech of Dr. Harold C. Urey to
shudder over. As the discoverer of heavy hydrogen,
which made the building of an H-bomb possible, and
as a man not given to loose talk, he could hardly be
brushed off asan alarmist. Because of a “curious prej-
udice” on the part of government advisers against
certain kinds of atomic development, Dr. Urey said,
e may have already lost the armaments race.”
Since the race was on in earnest, “I am very un-
happy to conclude that the hydrogen bomb should
be developed and built.” If the Russians built it
first, he foresaw an ultimatum so effective as tomake
the bomb’s use unnecessary. If we built it first, since

36

ultimatums are out of character for the Western na-
tions, Urey asked, “then what do we do next?” And
if both got it, there would be a dangerously unstable
equilibrium. The only solution would be an Atlan-
tic Union so strong as to overwhelmingly tip the bal-
ance of power in our favor.

The speech was still sinking in when President
‘Truman made it even harder to avoid thinking about
atoms, In a 127-word statement he said he had "di-
rected the Atomic Energy Commission to continue
its work on all... atomic weapons, including the
so-called hydrogen or superbomb.” There would
have been greater cause for alarm had the President
said anything else, but there was hardly cause for

‘SENATOR McMAHON ASKS “PEACE CRUSADE”

complacency in the thought that we were off on a
search for something not just 1,000 times as destrue-
tive as the atomic bomb but limitlessly destructive.

‘Then two days later Brien McMahon (D., Conn.),
chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy and a deeply troubled man, made a
bold, persuasive speech to the Senate. The U.S. had
a choice, as he saw it, of 1) “resigning ourselves toa

theatomicarmaments race. . . [and] tap to the roots
the resources of our ingenuity and imagination.”

What he offered was a super-Marshall Plan, to
cost $10 billion a year for five years, or two thirds
our present military budget, to be matched by two
thirds of other nations’ military budgets and to be
dedicated to giving a decent life to the two thirds
of the world’s peoples who “live continuously at the
margins of starvation.” Somehow Russia would
have to go along, and as a persuader the senator sug-
gested a vast step-up in the Voice of America, to
give it thundering amplification behind the Iron

Curtain, Reported the slightly awe-struck New York
Times, “Mr. McMahon, who is aware of many atom-
ic ‘secrets’ by virtue of his position, held many of his

Senate colleagues in asort of chilly suspense as hede-
scribed the potentialities of the hydrogen bomb.”
When the suspense was over, he was congratulated
on all sides. His hope that the Russians could be
coaxed aboard the bandwagon might be far-fetched,
but his daring approach would certainly be explored,
And, as propaganda, it might have a profound
effect on the Russian people.

‘The week’s greatest blow to complacency, how-
ever, was not the Truman announcement, nor the
McMahon word picture of “chunks of the sun” be-

if Russia broke the peace. It was, rather, something
that none of the three knew about when he spoke.

In London's Shell-Mex House, home of the British
Atomic Energy Commission, a policeman walked
up to one of the agency's brightest brains and ar-
rested him as a spy, He was Dr. Klaus Fuchs, Ger-
man-born, but a British n. He was accused of
having twice, in 1945 and 1947, given away atomic
secrets that could be useful to an enemy.

The long trail that led to Fuchs was picked up last
fall when British intelligence found a serious leak
at Harwell. Counterespionage agents kept running
into secrets in Russian hands that could only have
come from someone familiar with American atomic
installations. The British called in the FBI, which
sent some of its smartest operatives to London. To-
gether they built up a file to construct a theoretical

picture of the unknown spy and by a painstaking
process of elimination narrowed the field to one man:
Klaus Fuchs. From that point to his arrest last week
their quarry was under intense surveillance.
Although his British bosses never knew it, Fuchs
had been a Communist almost since his naturaliza-

ica on the Manhattan Project, he had had access to
the highest of secrets. And as Lieut. General Leslie
coves, who headed the project, told the stunned
Joint Committee later in the week, that may have
included hydrogen-bomb secrets. Fuchs’s aid to the
Russians was no small thing, said General Groves;

an atomic bomb. From FBI Director J. Edgar Hoo-
yer senators got the impression that the FBI might
be on the trails of still other important spies.
After all this shocking news it was almost an anti-
climax when Professor Frederick Seitz, of the Uni-
versity of Illinois, told fellow members of the Amer-
ican Physical Society that Russia's atomic develop-
ment has moved “at least five times greater” than
our own rate of advance since the war. Fuchs may
have helped, said Dr. Seitz, but the big reason for
Russia’s speed was her concentration of probably
more than half her national income on military de-
velopment. He urged that it would be immoral for
the U.S. not to speed up too: “Who among us will
less,” he asked, “if he has remained passively
by while Western culture was being overwhelmed?"

After 15 days of torturous effort the Navy finally
got the mighty Missouri free. The 45,000-ton bat-
tleship was hung up in Chesapeake Bay on a bed of
sand which hardened like concrete under the ship's
weight. The sand bar is shown as if there were no
water around the hull in this drawing, which sum-
marizes in chronological order the high points of the
salvage operation. First, an Army dredge (shown

standing by at 1) scooped out a channel 2 between
the sand bar and the deep water the battleship had
carelessly left. Then, after lightening the ship by
pumping its heavy fuel into tankers (one is shown
at 3) and unloading unneeded stores onto barges
(like the one at 4), salvage divers were sent down at
point 5 to dig away at the heavy sand and fasten
pontoons 6 which would increase the ship's buoy-

East German government was still needling Amer-

youths scrawled inscriptions on American homes in-
viting them to depart (above). The point was uns
derscored by Communist Gerhart Eisler, who had

chief in East Germany. In a rally staged provo

ancy. A commercial dredge 7 was called in to clear
away more of the bar and pairs of heavy anchors
marked with buoys 8 were set out for the Missouri's
stern winches to pull against in an effort to help her-
self out backward. Two anchored salvage ships 9,
equipped with block and tackle to increase the pull,
were added to help heave. Still too heavy, the ship
unloaded her 2,205 tons of ammunition onto barges

(like that at 10). Explosive charges were planted
amidships at point II to loosen the sand. Finally
two sets of powerful tugs I2 were attached by cables
to pull straightaway at the stern while another team
of tugs I3 alternated back and forth from starboard
to port in a 180° arc (dotted line) to swing the ship
loose from her sticky vise. After four tries—and
many other miscellaneous measures, which includ-

ed rumming the crew back and forth across the deck
to rock the ship—the Missouri was freed last week
with the help of a lucky wind-pushed high tide and
towed to drydock. The only real damage proved to
bean easily repairable 25-foot gash in her outer skin
(arrow at 14) caused by running onto a steel plate
of a shipwreck buried in the sand. Then the Navy
went to work to determine the cause of the fiasco.

PL USES PIE TO RAISE DOUGH

At Georgia University, college girls get plastered for a good cause

The pies, donated by two Athens bakers, were de-
signed for consistency rather than taste. All 90 were
thick and wet, heavy with flour and just gummy
enough to withstand short flights. The auctioneer
who sold them over a public address system was
pleasantly raucous and the targets themselves were
most of them were pretty coeds. Their
‘owing contest was, the members of Alpha
psilon Pi figured, a sure-fire blend of three college
favorites—noise, violence and just plain mess. Be-
sides, it was for a good cause. For three straight years
their fraternity had been the University of Geor-
gia’s champion money raiser for the March of Dimes
fund for infantile paralysis. They hoped this con-
test would put them on top for the fourth time.
‘The rules were simple and ingenious. The contest-
ants bid against each other in pairs. The high bidder

won the pie and the right to throw it at the loser’s
face. To be on the throwing end cost money—some-
times as much as $8 or $9—and even the most sport-
ing winners were reluctant to take wild chances. In-
stead of standing off and throwing the high-priced
wares, nine out of 10 walked up to their victim, who
stood with head sticking through a hole in a canvas
target, and smeared the pie into face and hair. “It
feels cold,” said one senior of her experience, “very
cold and mushy. It feels as if your whole head and
hair were suddenly covered with thick glue.”
Some targets like Rita Lincoln (above) were
signed or recalcitrant. But others, like Alpha E
lon Pi’s sweetheart (opposite page), seemed to love
it. When they were all smeared and the show was
over, the fraternity doorstep was deep in pie. But
they were champs again: the pies had sold for $340.

INGHID BERGMAN HAS A BABY /

Rossellini accepts congratulations on the birth of 7 Ib. 14 0z. boy

Actress Ingrid Bergman gave birth to a 7-pound,
14-ounce boy in Rome last week. The event fasci-
nated more than it shocked a world full of people
who had followed the romance between Miss Berg-
man and Movie Director Roberto Rossellini.

Miss Bergman was still the wife of Dr. Peter Lind-
strom, but it appeared that the baby’s father was
Rossellini. He rushed to the
hospital just in time for the
birth, happily accepted con-
gratulations afterward and
said that the baby’s name
would be Roberto. His reli-
gious adviser forecast Cath-
olic baptism for the infant.
Meanwhile the Church had
not yet annulled Rossellini’s
previous marriage—a union
which was dissolved by civil
action in January. Miss Berg-
man hadalready applied fora
quick Mexican divorce from
Dr. Lindstrom and hoped to
get it this month.

All this news was reported
in great detail on page one
by most U.S. and Europe-
an newspapers. From Rome,
Lire’s Roy Rowan reported:

“Oddly it was Ingrid’s rival, Italian Actress Anna
Magnani (see close-up on page 115), who saved the
hospital from immediate storming by the Rome
press. That night most of the city’s newsmen were
viewing the special premiere of her new movie, Vol-
cano. But by midnight photographers swarmed in
the dark around the locked iron grille gate at Villa
Margherita Hospital.

“Rossellini angrily resisted pictures because on
Jan, 22 an Italian photographer had caught the
only pregnancy pictures made of Ingrid (right).
Rossellini had that photographer arrested.

“His resistance only heightened the newsmen’s
competition after the baby was born. The press
called the locked hospital ‘Rossellini’s Iron Cur

tain,’ and the graying director of the institution
complained, ‘Our clinic is missing a great opportu-
nity for publicity.’ Finally the director agreed to
let the press in without cameras. He regretted this
decision. Reporters bombarded bashful Catholic
sisters with questions. Cameramen dashed into op-
erating and X-ray rooms, flung open linen closets
and ducked into wards, star-
tling the patients, while the
squealing, white-robed sis-
ters chased them along the
hallways.

“The carabinieri at last
cleared the press from the
building. Several photogra-
phers left and returned later
on motorcycles, disguised as
messengers. Onearrived ina

one month away, and the
deflated pressman and bulging wife were ushered
quietly out of the gate. Still resisting photography,
Rossellini charged at a group of cameramen and
grappled inconclusively with L1re’s Jack Birns.”

The Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano
deplored all this and more too: ™. n affair in
which, in the face of divorce laws, invoked but not
yet applied, is... openly, undeniably and clam-

Considering the paternity laws of Italy and Cal-
ifornia (where Dr. Lindstrom plans a divorce), it
seemed that the baby’s name will be Lindstrom until
somebody finds a legal loophole by which this can
beavoided. Meanwhile the baby’s nurse said, “Eat,
eat, eat! That's about all the fat little pigeon does.”

AT HEIGHT OF HER ILL

MRS. CORREA LIES IN A PLASTIC OXYGEN TENT. AFTER ONE DAY ON PENICILLIN TENT WAS REMOVED

Pneumonia

ITS. DEATH TOLL HAS DROPPED 75% IN 20 YEARS

One day early this winter a young woman lay
in an oxygen tent at New York's Roosevelt Hos-
pital (above), gasping for breath and burning
with fever. The examining doctors had made
their report. Her disease: advanced lobar pneu-
monia; her chances of recovery: excellent.

The germ which infected this patient, Mrs.
Florence Correa, strikes most often during wet
winter months. Pneumonia may hit anyone,
but seems to favor city dwellers—especially the
very young and the old. Women are more sus-
ceptible than men. Fatigue, chilling, respira-
tory infections and alcoholism make people
more vulnerable. Some pneumonia cases are
caused by troublesome though seldom lethal
viruses, but a majority of all reported cases are
infected with the much more dangerous pneu-

mococcus germ whicl: causes lobar pneumonia.

If Mrs. Correa had fallen ill in 1930 instead
of 1950 her doctor's report would have been far
more pessimistic. For at that time one out of
every three pneumonia cases ended in death.
Doctors then had no effective weapon against
the disease. But in the past 20 years three prac-
tical treatments have become available: ani.
mal serum, sulfa drugs and penicillin. Penici
lin, the most recent, is by far the best, for unlike
the other two it is as safe as it is potent.

In Mrs. Correa’s case, penicillin halted the
disease in a day and cured it in a week. In other
cases its effects are as dramatic. The new drug,
once hard to get, is now available to every doc-
tor. Pneumonia, once the third greatest cause
of death in the U.S., need no longer be feared.

DEATHS PER 100,000

cr T1065

PNEUMONIA DEATHS have decreased by 75%
since the late 1920s. Serum, though still unreliable,
was in wide use by 1936, and during the next three
years fatalities were cut almost in half. The more effi-
cient sulfa drugs, first used around 1939, reduced the
death rate further. Penicillin may cure 95% of cases.

HOW PNEUMONIA
RUNS ITS COURSE

A famous medical classic of the 1890s—Osler’s textbook
—described pneumonia as a disease which “runs its course
uninfluenced in any way by medicine” and so fatal to the

~ aged that it was “the natural end of the old man.”

Both of these statements have been made obsolete by
the success of one of the most concentrated medical inves-
tigations ever undertaken—the 50-year search for a safe
and sure means of controlling the germ pneumococcus,
which causes both the classic lobar and the less important
bronchial pneumonia. The reason for this immense medi-
cal effort was the seriousness of the disease itself. It affected
all age groups and could quickly kill even the strongest and
healthiest of men, It was especially common in temperate
regions where it was at its worst during spring and winter
months, Its symptoms were deeply impressed on the mind
of every practicing physician: the sudden chill and high
fever, the rapid pulse, the bloody cough, the chest pain and
solidification of parts of the lungs. These changes came
abruptly and without warning, For five or nine days the pa-
tient would fight the infection. Then, if he lived, the course
of the disease would suddenly be reversed. This often took
the form of a crisis in which, within a few hours, his temper-
ature would fall from 105° to normal; his pulse would drop
and delirium would give way to sleep.

Pathologists knew enough about pneumonia to define
the physical conditions of the lungs (right) which brought
about these symptoms. They also understood thoroughly
the mechanics of normal breathing (opposite page) which
the disease disrupted. But the nature of the infection itself
was a mystery. How did the germ work? What determined
who got it? Exactly what happened during the crisis? These
questions have not even yet been completely answered,
but enough has been learned to conquer the disease.

Scientists found that there were at least 30 different
types of pneumococeus, two of which were responsible for
more than half of all lobar cases. Apparently these were
passed by a patient or a carrier to a susceptible individual.
Tt was also discovered that the blood built antibodies to
fight these germs and that the crisis was caused by the con-
certed action of the antibodies against them.

The discovery of antibodies led to the first pneumonia
cure—animal serum. This substance contained antibodies
taken from the blood of immunized animals. Properly ad-
ministered, it could cure most cases of pneumonia. But it
was tricky and dangerous to use. Then came the British
sulfapyridine, a universally accepted drug which geally
lowered the death rate. But it too had bad side effects
had to be given cautiously. It was the discovery of penicillin
that finally brought pneumonia under virtually complete
control; for although this drug does not affect the less seri-
ous forms of the disease, such as virus pneumonia, it is an al-
most infallible cure for the deadly pneumococcus infection.

attending, however, the important things were ingenious cut-away \

motors opening up like books and the 38 cars that were displayed. The

biggest eye popper of all was a tawny yellow Cadillac called “Debu-

tante” (opposite), upholstered in silver satin and Somaliland leopard
(the robe cord was leopard tail), with gold-plated hardware. It cost $35,-
600 and, although it was not for sale, most visitors took five minutes to
circle the well-guarded showpiece and get their fill of fingering its fur.

What a joy to use! This lightweight, easy-
handling, quick-cleaning marvel!

ON THE ROAD TO JOGJAKARTA A RAGGED LINE OF YOUNG JAVANESE GUERRILLAS MARCHES JAUNTILY TOWARD TOWN TO CELEBRATE THE NEW INDEPENDENCE OF THE NATION

VOUNG MEN ARE BOTH THE PERIL AND THE HOPE

A generation of Indonesian patriots fought for merdeka (freedom).
Now that they have won it, they are discovering that the bright days of
fulfillment can be clouded by the aftermath of struggle and new prob-
lems of peace. In western Java trigger-happy young men with guns still
stalk the countryside, Some were natives who, having fought as merce-
naries for the Dutch, now roam unemployed, hated by their countrymen.
Some are guerrillas who fought the Dutch, then turned against President
Soekarno. They include Moslem fanatics of Darul Islam (“World of Is-
lam"), who want to make Indonesia an Islamic utopia where by Allah’s
grace all things are perfect. Several thousand of these dangerous men are
led by a former Dutch officer who has an egocentric plan to purge “Japa-
nese influence” from Indonesia by warring on the Soekarno government.

The wiser, more moderate young patriots who are Indonesia's new
leaders (below) must find ways to bring dissidents as well as peaceful
men and displaced princes (opposite page) into the new national culture
fostered by the government. It is a government more deeply influenced

by the American constitutional system than by Indonesia’s own diverse
cultures. Though predominantly Moslem, the founding fathers did not
mention Mohammed in their new draft constitution. Rather the pream-
ble ordained a charter based broadly on “divine omnipotence, humanity,
national consciousness, democracy and social justice” and a federal state
“governed by justice.” Its “bill of rights” prohibits slavery, torture and
illegal arrest; it guarantees freedom of speech, religion and assembly, and
the sanctity of every home. Like an American, an Indonesian charged
with crime will be presumed innocent until proved guilty in open trial.

Even the effort to build a new state on these tolerant concepts is spec-
tacular in the Asia of 1950, when helpless masses are being marched dog-
gedly toward the police state. These concepts must be carried out, and
non-Communist friends must find ways to help solve the hard economic
problems that lie ahead if Indonesia itself is to continue living outside
Moscow’s orbit. Then the “girdle of emerald” may become a chain of
great strength binding East and West together for their common good.

TEN YEARS AGO this man was a thriving
merchant in a small town in Eastern Europe.
Since then he has starved...shivered...
been shot at...slept in cellars...lost his
family...and has died a thousand deaths.

That he is alive at all is a miracle.

That he is alive in his new country, a
free man, in a land they said could never
be, is a miracle of miracles!

Today he sells toys in the streets of a
little town of Israel, alone, but clutching
that most precious of all possessions...
Freedom.

If you have ever given any money to the

United Jewish Appeal you helped save this
man. You helped perform this miracle.

And miraculous as it was, the larger fight
goes on. There is still much to do. Far to go.

Hundreds of thousands of Jews, many of
them living in constant fear, need help if
they are to reach sanctuary in Israel.

Israel needs help in preparing for these
new citizens—more farms, more homes, and
more industries are needed at once.

Israel needs help in building a firm, strong
future. New cities must rise. New land must
be reclaimed from the desert.

Only through your gifts, your generosity,

can the fight that is half won be finished.

So GIVE! Give generously! Give all you

RELICS AND A REVOLUTIONARY

Just as there were autos and automo-
bilists before Ford, so there were cameras
and photographers before Eastman. The
Frenchman Louis Daguerre and the Eng-

lishman Fox Talbot (above) were tak-
ing successful photographs in the early
1830s. But as late as 1880 taking pictures
Was still a troublesome process involving
cumbersome wet plates that had to be de-
veloped on the spot immediately after
exposure, For most amateurs the whole
business was far too complicated, and
the perfecting of dry plates around 1880
made it only a little easier. George East-
man revolutionized this. In 1885, when
he was 31 and had been taking pictures only eight years, he began man-
ufacturing a sensitive paper film in a roll holder. This led three years
later to Eastman’s—and photography’s—greatest single innovation,
the Kodak (left), which used the paper roll. In 1889 Eastman produced
transparent film much like that used today. Now the taking of pic-
tures was so simple that anyone at all could merely “press the button”.
and produce a photograph. The age of the snapshot had been born.

sounded like he was playing instru-

trumpet solos, and all kinds of other
effects.

SOME EARLY FRENCH CAMERA GAGS

The love of gags, which has become a special hallmark of photogra-
phers, afflicted even the early ones, especially in France. These are ad-
vertisements of French cameramen of 1860s and 1870s in the Eastman
collection. By photo montage, Simon (top) guillotined himself. A horse
photographer (center) had horses jumping over his head. An unknown
portraitist (bottom) got a bizarre effect by doubling his bearded subject.

EVEN IN PARADISE, ED GARDNER
HAS (PERISH FORBID) HIS ULCER.

Since insular existence is bound to be insulated, the motley crew of
Duffy’s Tavern has found life in Puerto Rico to be not entirely a bed
of bougainvillaea. Ed Gardner's writers, for example, complain (be-
hind the boss's back) that they no longer get to listen to their compe-
tition, from Benny and Hope to McGee and Molly. Some people might
count it a blessing to live on an island out of earshot of radio comedi-
ans, but gag writers depend on monitoring, or scouting, each other's

s for intellectual stimulus and in some cases, itis said, for jokes.
”* says one of The Boys, “we have a tough time getting top-
ical gags down here. How do you build a joke around Mule Train if you
ain’t even heard thesong?”” The obvious solution—toswitch from topi-
| jokes to tropical ones—is out, because Duffy's must always pre-
serve the illusion that it never left Third Avenue. To help The Boys
+ the El, Gardner lets them take the New York
Time: is no great help. Eventually he may have to fly
them home in rotation to put an occasional ear to the asphalt.

But according to such authorities as Abe Burrows, a radio-TV hu-
morist who got his start writin who says reverently,
“Ed taught me about be ardner no more harm
to go to Puerto Rico than it did Gauguin to go to This is con-
firmed by the Hooper people whose the tape-recorded

Although Duffy's is a self-styled low and crummy-type joint, its hu-
mor is really on a pretty intelligent level, and to keep it there Gardner,
who spends $: , often labors all through the trop-
ical night editing and polishing his scripts. His colleague Colonel Stoop-

nagle, who is quite a writer of whimsical comedy himself, says, “I've

When Gardner went to Puerto Rico he took along (or sent under
separate cover) his family, two dogs, 10 employes, two Cadillacs, a
Chris-Craft and a stomach ulcer that has been hii or less constant

Magnani, the woman Rossellini

He snarls at anybody who ventures near his mistr as sev-
eral times bitten Magnani fans clean through the hand. But, even
though Magnani has been sued countless times, she will neither muz-
zle the animal nor leave him at home.

In the way that people sometimes resemble their dogs, Anna Mag-
nani, or “our Nannarella”’ he is called throughout Italy, resem-
bles Micia. And of thi he is defiantly proud. Her rank-growing

hair, unconfined by hat or hairpin, is th me jolting shade of black.
She habitually dresses in black. Her big, strong teeth seem always
about to bite. Emotionally she is never far from eruption. As she
hurtles through traffic, she uproariously curses Micia, jaywalkers
and the frustrations of life in general.

To Americans unfamiliar with Italian films, Anna Magnani may
be known chiefly as the woman with whom Director Roberto Ros-
sellini was in love before he discovered Ingrid Bergman. But a poll
along Via Veneto, which is frequented by film talent from every
nation, would yield the consensus that Magnani is not only Italy's
but the world’s greatest film star. This may be an overstatement
of the case. However, in the four y ed from com-
parative obscurity she has won the U.S. National Board of Review
award for the best foreign actress (Open City, which Re ini di-
rected), the Venice Film Festival award for the best performance
by an actress in any category (The Honorable Angelina) and the
Silver Ribbon—the Italian Oscar—for the same two films plus an-
other Rossellini production, Love. Anna Magnani has become
of the most impressive actresses since Garbo.

Magnani, whose sense of profit is also impressive, demands and
gets the largest sums paid an actress in Europe. Since Italian per-
sonal-tax laws have many well-known loopholes, her net income
cannot be matched even in Hollywood.

Magnani has attained fame and fortune—a long, tough haul from
the rough-and-tumble neighborhood of her youth—with almost
none of the equipment prized by conventional stars. Her for-
mal education ended at the age of 14. The racy aromas of the Roman
alleys still cling to her speech and m only dramatic school
training she ever got lasted less than two years. In front of the cam-
era she relies mostly on instinct. Altho
transmit by sheer dynamism the illusion of beauty and scorchi
sensualism, she lacks the sort of face and figure that ordinarily
tracts men. She is 41 years old. Both in the studio and away from it
she disdains to interfere with nature. She allows no hairdresser to
tame her rowdy tresses, no beauty expert to tidy up her rampant
curves. Finally, as the queen of the so-called neorealistic school of

great shameless emotionalists. You have to go back to the silent movies
for that kind of acting. Most of the modern stars try to cultivate under-

so old it looks new.”

MAGNANI’S ACTING is effusive, dynamic, instinctive. Here, in The Hon-
orable Angelina, she organizes neighbors in a fight against a local black market.

ANNA MAGNANTI continue

Magnani is a profoundly, incurably melancholy woman, Yet,
with the peculiar split personality of the born actress, she is able
to detach herself from sorrow, in a sense enjoy it and explore its his-
trionic content. When Rossellini transferred his affections to Ingrid
Bergman, Magnani’s grief was Sophoclean. She harrowed her sym-
pathizers with all-night analyses of her suffering and threatened
suicide. She begged newspaper reporters, ‘Please, please, leave me
ith my edy.”” She also promised, “I will break every
plate of spaghetti in Rome over his head.” Many observers feared
for Bergman’s physical safety should the two women ever meet.
They never did, and presently Magnani’s mood lapsed into one of
morose resignation. When Bergman finally flew to Rome, Magnani
enacted, quite spontaneously, her own version of The Human Voice.
Telephoning an intimate member of Rossellini’s circle at 2 o’clock
the morning from London, where she had gone to attend thi
ing of one of her films, she asked, “Has she arrived?” “Yes,
the friend. The dialogue continued as follows:

Macxant Mannaggia! (freely translated, ‘Goddam’) Is she pretty?
Frienp Yes.

Macwant_ Mannaggia! Was he waiting for her at the airport?
Frienp Yes.

Macnant. Mannaggia! (a pause) Did they kiss?

Frrenn Yes.

Macnant_ Mannaggia! (a long pause) Did he drive her to her hotel?
Frrenp Yes.

Macat_ Mannaggia! (a pause of a minute) Did they go by the old
Appian Way, in the moonlight?

Frrenp Yes.

Macnant Mannaggia! (she hung up)

During’a game of Truth and Consequences staged for laughs by
the Voleano company, Magnani replied in answer to a pointed ques-
tion about Rossellini, “I have never been happy in my life.” “Come
now, Anna,” Dieterle chided her, “you were happy as a lark the
other day.” She exploded: “How dare you tell me I was happy!

Never, never in my life!”

Fatherless, motherless

ITHOUT doubt, many of the simplest requirements for hap-
piness have eluded Magnani, She was born out of wedlock to

a girl of the working class, Marina Casadei. Before she was a month
old her father, Francesco Magnani, disappeared. People close to the
actress feel that this rejection by her father explains her ambiva-
lence toward men, whom she cannot live happily with or without.
In her third year her mother too went away to make a fresh start
in Egypt, and Anna did not see her for 12 years. She rarely refers
to her mother today and when she does it is with an undertone of
resentment. “I am really grateful to Marina,” she once said. “Had
she been the usual sort of mother, I would probably never have be-
come an actress. But she was violent, willful and romantic—I take
after her. Egypt was her escape. Acting is mine.”

Anna was entrusted to the care of dparents, to whom her
mother sent money from Egypt for her support. The Casadeis were
a big, brawling, joyous but poor tribe who lived precariously on the

1. We think the people who make up
Union Oil Company are as good as they come.
In fact, we'll back their technical skills and
“know-how” against any group of oil men in
the country. But with all their skills and
knowledge, they couldn’t make a gallon of
petroleum produets without “‘tools.””

2. It takes skill and knowledge PLus drilling
rigs, oil wells, refineries, laboratories, pipe lines,
service stations and several thousand other kinds
of “tools” before you can make and distribute
modern petroleum products. At Union Oil the
investment in these ‘tools’? amounts to $68,400
per employee. This is several times larger than
the national average of all manufacturing
industries—(about $6,000 per employee)—for
the oil industry requires far more heavy and
complex equipment.

3. Consequently where many large companies
have 1 or 2 stockholders for each employee, Union
needs the investments of 5 average stockholders
in order to put 1 employee to work. To provide
“tools” for 7,288 Union Oil employees, we have
had to enlist the savings of 37,220 preferred and
common stockholders.

Union Oil people employed. Yet the American
stockholder, during the last 20 years, has taken
more punishment —verbally and tax-wise—than
any other group in the nation.

5. Actually, stockholder returns in this country
are moderate in the extreme. At Union Oil our
dividends have averaged 4% over the last 20 years
on the net capital invested in the company. So
we feel that the responsibilities of management
should be threefold—to see that Union Oil cus-

who do the work get a square deal, and to see
that the people who provide the “tools” are
fairly compensated.

ANNA MAGNANT conrinueo

wrong side of the Tiber in a district as colorful as a Persian bazaar.
Although Magnani has long since moved to more elegant quarters,
she is irresistibly drawn back to the scenes of her girlhood. She likes
to dine there of an evening in one of the local restaurants, raucously
swapping ribaldries with old friends who thee-and-thou her as one
of them. When “our Nannarella” departs, the police have to clear
a path through the crowd.

‘Anna was a plain, frail child with a forlornness of spirit that
touched her grandparents, They pampered her, often depriving
themselves to provide her with good clothes and food. She fared so
much better than the other children of the neighborhood that they
would tear her dresses in envy and taunt her with epithets such
as “Dung Princess.” But then as now she felt more at ease among
earthy companions than refined ones and unfailingly cosied up to
the toughest kid on the block. “I am antibourgeois,” she proclaims
defensively. “I hate respectability. Give me the life of the streets,
of common people.” This antipathy toward polite society occasions
many a display of brusque incivility. An elderly lady, having met
Magnani at a theatrical function and learned that she had a son,
observed kindly, “I never think of yousomehow as a mother.” Mag-
nani replied, “I never think of you somehow as a lady.”

One day a mongrel dog bit Anna severely on the cheek, sending
her to the hospital. Far from fearing dogs thereafter, she still be-
friends them with frenzied enthusiasm, professing to value them
above humans. She is continu-
ally rescuing stray curs in the
street, picking the fleas out of
their hair and ceaselessly seek-
ing homes for them. She has not
spoken formonths to friends who
declined to adopt one of these
foundlings. When Dieterle or-
dered a barking dog banished
from Volcano, Magnani sulked
until it was brought back and fed,
The only known exception oc-
curred recently when a barking
watchdog in a monastery below
her apartment kept her awake
all night. She threatened the
monks that if they did not keep
the dog quiet she would parade
stark naked on her balcony. So
the monks kept the dog awake all
day, the dog slept all night and
Magnani kept her clothes on. Her present menage includes, besides
Micia (a gift from Rossellini), Pipo, a nervous poodle who, though
unhousebroken, shares her bed; Musina, a Persian cat; four kittens
and a nameless turtle.

When she was 7 Anna attended a French convent school in Rome
where she learned to speak the language well. She also studied the
piano, which she still plays expertly. But her most expressive mu-
sical instrument is her own resonant, somber, contralto voice. At
parties or alone she likes to sing bittersweet songs in romanesco
(Roman version of Brooklynese), accompanying herself on the
guitar. Those who have heard her treasure the experience more than
any film she ever made.

At the convent, too, she acquired her passion for acting when the
nuns staged a Christmas play. The remittances from her mother
were just enough to cover tuition in a dramatic school, and at 17
she entered the Eleonora Duse dramatic school. (A critic later al-
luded to Magnani as “the peasant Duse.”) Midway through the
course she was interviewed by the actor-manager of a touring rep-
ertory company who needed extras. She jumped at the chance, al-
though the pay was only 25 lire (88¢) a day. She never again ac-
cepted help from her mother.

‘There are few apprenticeships seamier than that offered by the
Italian theater. Magnani was spared none of it. For the next few
years she shifted from one tattered troupe to another, seldom earn-
ing a living wage but gradually getting better parts. The ordeal
instilled in her an appreciation of money which has since caused
many a producer to toss in his sleep. At the outset of her film career
she would report to work with hand outstretched and keep it so
until she held her day’s pay—in cash, no checks. She can now bring
herself to wait until the end of the week, but her first move upon
undertaking a new film is to find the man in charge of incidental
expenses, turn her purse inside out to show that it is empty and
warn him, “It’s up to you.” The wardrobe bill she submitted for
Volcano, in which she wore mostly peasant garb, ran to two mil-
lion lire ($3,200).

HER HUSBAND is Goffredo Ales-
sandrini, from whom she is separated.

In 1933 Magnani was doing experimental plays in Rome with an
earnest little art group when Goffredo Alessandrini, a movie direc-
tor of the jodhpur-wearing, megaphone-wielding tradition, saw her
act. Excited by her fieriness, he hurried backstage. He was of a prom-
inent, wealthy family and as gallant as a guardsman. Two years later
they were married. Magnani immediately retired to devote herself
exclusively to her husband. “I suffered horribly away from the the
ter,” she says, “but I could bear to be away from Goffredo even le:

The idyll was short-lived. Alessandrini’s attentions soon strayed
to other women. “You know how it is,” says Magnani with a for-
bearance she did not feel at the time, “‘a man gets tired of the same
woman,”

Her interests at home disappearing, she went back into the thea-
ter to portray a gallery of delinquent heroines—Carmen, Maya,
Anna Christie. She was not a sensation, but few actresses ever are
in Italy, where the people take their drama haphazardly. Rome
supports barely nine theaters, and three weeks is an average run
for any play. Where Magnani finally achieved a smashing success
on the stage was in the sceneryless reviews organized hy the ei
leading actors during the American occupation when shortages
made legitimate plays difficult to stage. Singing, dancing and re-
citing racy monologues, she captivated GIs who saedastoed at
a word of romanesco dialect.

Magnani had profited by her retirement to study both stage and

screen acting from the front of the house. W! je saw strength-
ened her leaning toward neorealism. ‘The classic poses, the cul-
tured accents—tripe!” she jeers. “For me, acting should be as nat-
ural as life.”

Before her marriage had cooled entirely, she had told Alessandri-
ni, “I want to act in movies. I know I’m ugly, but must movies show
only beautiful, well-dressed women? Why not ordinary, down-to-
earth women for a change, women of the people—like me?”

“Dismiss it from your mind, my dear,” Alessandrini advised her
loftily. "The cinema can never be for you.”

She promptly landed a role in a very down-to-earth film indeed,
entitled A Lamp in the Window. She ince appeared in 19 oth-
ers, the majority of them equally down-to-earth. Today from hap-
less women the country over she receives begging letters which fre-
quently begin, “You who understand us. . .

In October 1942, after she and Alessandrini had finally separated,
‘Anna bore a son. She named him Luca and gave him all the mater-
nal devotion that she had missed in her own childhood.

Her son is crippled

HE next tragedy to befall Magnani filled her bitter cup to the
brim. In 1944 there were 48 cases of polio i in Rome. Luca, then
18 months old, caught the disease. Today, at 7, he has not regained
the use of his legs and he now has to spend most of his time in a san-
itarium for treatment. He is otherwise a handsome, sturdy young-
ster, with his mother’s dark, wild hair and luminous eyes.
The thumping salary demands for which Magnani is notorious
are dictated by Luca’s needs rather than by personal extravagance.
In the early stages of his illness she spent most of her earnings for
specialists and hospitals. When it was determined that he could not
walk again, she resolved to accumulate a fortune that would shield
him forever from want. Not long ago she stood watching a legless
veteran drag himself along the sidewalk. She said afterward, “TI re-
alize now that it’s worse when they grow up.”

A KISS FOR ROBERTO is a reminder of happier days when Magnani called
Rossellini “Stellino” (Little Star). This was taken in her apartment in 1947,

ANNA MAGNANI continveo

Then came Roberto Rossellini. “I thought at last I had found
the ideal man,” she says. “He had lost a son of his own and I felt
we understood each other. Above all, we had the same artistic con-
ceptions.” But Rossellini proved to be as violent, volatile and pos-
sessive as Magnani, and far less ingenuous. They wrangled con-
stantly, partly over feverish dreams of bold film ventures, part
iaoal’ttxys 1 fia clicems they thre crocker¥/ahesdingiien Fat
lowing one of these battles, they happened to turn up at the same
party. At sight of him Magnani roared, “On your knees, miserable
one, and beg forgiveness!” To his knees he sank and she was mo-
mentarily appeased.

On the professional level, however, no two artists ever comple-
mented each other more sensitively. Magnani would project his
ideas intuitively, almost before they were expressed, while from
scene to scene Rossellini would modify his characters and story line
as he sensed her perception of them: Most gratifying to Magnani,
he indulged her swift, unpredictable humors which impelled her
now and again to stalk off the set in the middle of a take or not
show up for work at all. “To act. I must feel the mood,” she insists,
“Tt cannot be forced. Roberto always understood that.”

On Rossellini’s assurance that he was preparing the crow
hicle of her career, Magnani turned down offers from othe
tors for a year, some of them guaranteeing her as much as 30 mil-
lion lire. But Rossellini prepared another movie and presented it
to Ingrid Bergman.

Since the breakup Magnani has lived in a seven-room terraced
flat in Rome, where she wanders about in lonely restlessness. She
is, says a friend, “like an animal in a trap, gnawing on its own leg.”
She does not encourage easy friendships. When miffed, she some-
times walks away from a dinner party, smashing plates on her way
out. “Sometimes,” she says wistfully, “T think I frighten people.”

Superstitions, fevers and aches

HE is as superstitious as a gypsy. She consults astrologers (she
Si is a Pisces subject). goes in for numerology (her birthday is
March 7, and she attaches mystical importance to the number 7)
and claims to be clairvoyant herself (""I foresaw the Bergman af-
fair before Roberto even knew her”). She cannot retire at night
unless her shoes are aligned under the bed. She believes that a dog
dying indoors bodes ill to some human relationship in the house.
“With Goffredo and Roberto it was the same,” she says. “Just be-
fore the final parting a dog died.”

And always she is prey to mysterious fevers and aches which she
will discuss exhaustively. As she arrived on the Volcano set one day.
Dieterle called out the casual salutation, "How are you, Anna?
She announced solemnly, “Ninety-cight point nine.” Never eating
or drinking much, she often subsists for long stretches on black cof-
fee and cigarets. The resultant stimulation, she believes, is good for
her acting. She sleeps poorly, reliving the day's calamities. “My
nights are appalling,” she says. "I wake up in a state of nerves and
it takes me hours to get back in touch with reality.”

Magnani’s apartment refiects her flight from orthodoxy. There
are a dozen porcelain poodles, a 50-pound armored puppet astride

ANNA MAGNANTI conrinveo

an empty saddle, tinted glass balls heaped under a Bechstein piano,

the xel-velvet bed Rossellini gave her, bisque fgnrines illustrating Wh Zr Z/,

the ‘Nativity and an immense jsurrealist painting of Magnaniana v vA 4
which includes a telegram from Bernard Shaw granting her per-
mission to attempt Pygmalion in romanesco.

To Magnani the success or failure of Volcano means more than
professional prestige. Her woman’s pride is at stake. For Volcano
was produced in circumstances deliberately calculated to invite
comparison with the Rossellini-Bergman film, Stromboli, a strat-
egy originally inspired by a befuddled chambermaid in the New
York hotel where Producer Caramelli was stopping last winter.
“Shame on Ingrid Bergman,” he heard her mutter over a gossip
column, “stealing that poor Mrs. Magnani’s husband!” Taking
her sentiments to be those of the American masses, and shrewdly
appraising the publicity assets of a glamorous international tri-
angle, Caramelli launched what amounted to a counterproduction.

The two films are similar in locale. The harsh, sparsely populated
Aeolian Islands of Vulcano and Stromboli lie north of Sicily, jin
12 miles of each other. They have no electricity, no running water
and little food or shelter. Every piece of equipment had to be shipped
from the mainland aboard fishing smacks. Bergman plays a con-
niving DP who marries a Strombolian fisherman and has trouble
adjusting herself to the rigors of island life. Magnani plays a prosti-
tute who saves her younger sister from pursuing the same profes-
sion. Most of the minor characters are played, neorealist fashion,
by the natives.

The shooting of both films proceeded simultaneously and, to Ca
melli’s satisfaction, in an atmosphere crackling with rivalry. R
porters were accredited, like war correspondents, to one or the other
of the embattled camps, Generalissimos Rossellini and Dieterle is-
sued weekly communiqués. Partisanship infected the Via Veneto,
where Magnaniacs and Bergmaniacs clashed frequently.

Despite their estrangement Magnani still considers Rosselli
the greatest director she ever acted for. He still speaks of her as tI
greatest actress he ever directed, and he recently sent word to her
that he would like to produce a picture starring both her and Berg-
man. Magnani snarled back, “T'll do it if Ingrid marries me. One
of us would have to play the male role.”

“Someday,” she predicts, “when I can look at Roberto obje
tively, I may act for him again.” Of further sentimental involve-
ments, however, she says, “I am finished with men.” Then she adds,
“Life is unbearable without love.”

Next time this happens to you, here’s something you might
think about:
We have railroads to carry freight — all sorts of freight

in any quantity, for anybody, to any part of the country,
in any season of the year.

These railroads are built for heavy-duty hauling — more
so than ever after the four billion dollars they have spent
for improvement since the end of the war.

And the more freight railroads

re called upon to carry,
the more efficiently and economically they can do the job
—and at the same time your public highways will be less
expensive to maintain, safer and more convenient to use.

STEVAN DOHANOS STARTS OFF THE PAINTING WITH TELEVISION ANTENNA

Ten of the country’s most highly paid magazine artists, whose com-
bined annual earnings total about $500,000, have pooled their talents =
to form a correspondence school, the Institute of Commercial Art. Re-
cently they pooled their talents again—to paint a picture in celebra-
tion of the school. Individually of these men are recognizable
to a large and faithful public. Combined, they merge into the abstract
hybrid at upper left that would dismay even their most loyal followers.
